My Sneaker Lust-List From Superbalist

It was just the other day when I was going through my varsity pictures; and that trip through memory lane revealed how much I used to love wearing sneakers. I remember the day I got rid of my kicks like it was yesterday. My uncle made a comment that the way I wear sneakers all the time, he bets I do not even own a pair of ballet flats. He also added that I was starting to look like a boy because not only would you find me in sneakers, I used to have short hair too. That statement alone made me get rid of 95% of my sneakers. To date I still do not know why I took such a drastic decision because things like that hardly faze me. What I can attest to is that no matter what, my love for Adidas originals superstars and the stan smith's is still unparalleled. So going through those pictures and seeing how I used to rock my sneakers, it made me want to rekindle my love for comfort and cool kicks.

So herewith is my current sneaker lust-list from Adidas Originals Sneakers and Nike Sneakers. I have gone for kicks that I love not just for their vibrant colours and style, but for the versatility they offer in terms of how one can easily dress them; up or down they work just fine. Even though I know that the colours I went for are hot for the spring and summer season, I acknowledge that they may not be everyone's cup of tea. And for that, I would like to assure you that they also come in different colours too.

1. Adidas Originals Swift Run

These kicks feature the floating 3-Stripes, stylish embroidered lines on the forefoot, and a stretchy and comfortable, sock-like knit upper, because of this, they can be your everyday sneaker.

2. Adidas Originals Tubular Shadow

These Tubular women's shoes offer a modern vision for running-inspired street style. With a stretchy build of Kevlar® and ripstop, they feature a sleek monochrome look. An innovative wrap closure offers a snug and comfortable fit.

3. Nike W Air Huarache Run Ultra

This modern sneaker boasts futuristic good looks and a gorgeous tonal colourway. A textured upper and various strap details add to its bold silhouette, while Phylon foam offers a soft heel and air soles with flex grooves contribute to all-day comfort.

4. Nike Air Max 90 Ultra 2.0

The Nike Air Max 90 Ultra updates an iconic profile with premium construction for lasting comfort. Leather overlays add a sports luxe touch to the mesh upper while the visible Max Air unit creates lightweight cushioning. Other details include a waffle-inspired midsole for durable traction.

5. Adidas Originals Superstar Foundation

These kicks keep the look classic with a white, coated leather upper, featuring all the authentic details, including zigzag edging on the 3-Stripes and the signature rubber shell toe with signature gold tongue emblem.

A Day In My Office Wear 8: Florals And Trench Coat

Can I just say how much I missed my office wear posts (I know I am missing my own work, how vain huh). I work in a corporate environment where being presentable is a must. With that said, there is no standard colour palette that we are forced to adhere to. So I try by all means to experiment with colours that may not be everyone's favourite due to either being too bright or dull for their liking.

I wore this look a couple of times already and people where asking me why it has not made it on the blog yet. To honor their request and because I also love it so much, I decided to share it with the rest of you. The main piece that made me center the look around is this bright and colourful skirt from Mr. Price. Luckily for you, the skirt is still available in stores and online so you can still get yourself one if you like it that much. It is also affordable, so you can just sacrifice a few drinks and/or one take away meal to be able to cop it for only R149. To put it into context, that is only equivalent to $11 and some change.

As you all know that I am on a quest to being debt free, this blog is also about looking "stylish" on a budget. The accompanying trench is also from Mr. Price but unfortunately it is no longer available as I got it 4 months back or so. But knowing the store, they always bring their best sellers back in stock so just stalk their site every now and again to see if it has not made an appearance again. I bought it for R349 if I am not mistaken and now I am kicking myself for not getting it in the fawn colour too. The rest of the items I styled this look with have made it on the blog before, where the shirt was featured here and here; then the shoes here.
